Hi, How big can this problem be ? There is basically only a few ways to install or upgrade PHP.
1) Installing from source or binaries, in this case you would have to know at least a minimum about how the system works and it is very easy to rename php-cgi.exe to php.exe on these these systems. 2) Using an installer. In this case the installer should make sure the correct file is used. This would be the way Win32 administrators are used to install/upgrade systems anyway. Some of the code I'm responsible for is used on more than 250 servers so I made sure my install program (which is a php script) makes the changes needed to match the version of PHP I use in each install/update.. - Frank > On Mon, 9 Dec 2002, Marcus Börger wrote: > > > >You are correct in your assumption that I have difficulty > > >understanding the issues behind this change.
